Nikki-RIP
Nikki Crosses the Rainbow Bridge
My cocker spaniel Nikki passed away late Sunday night.
Nikki was the sweetest and happiest dog that I've ever known. She was always happy and wagging her tail. After the last of our previous pack passed on(a Shih tzu, the other dog was a cocker), we waited several months before starting a new pack. My wife found a private breeder that was selling cockers in West Covina so we made an appointment to visit. The breeder was an elderly lady and she called the remaining puppy freckles since she had tan and white spots on her nose. We took the puppy home that night and named her Nikki. Conni came to live with us a few weeks later. Nikki loved toys and a good bone. She was really smart and had a great sense of curiosity(I said when she was a puppy that she was more curious than the President). She loved her doggie bed and that's where she took her last breath.
These photos are from a number of different cameras, some only produced JPEG images so I was limited in how much I could process them. The earlier photos were taken with an Olympus C4040, a Samsung Droid Charge, a Samsung WB250F, a Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 and are JPEG's. The later photos were taken with a Samsung NX500, Samsung NX1, and a Galaxy Note 8 and are RAW or JPEG's.
The photos show Nikki throughout her life, starting as a puppy in 2007 and ending with the last two photos I took of her this time last year. Both girls stopped eating their regular meals last fall(I think there was a problem with their food) and Nikki developed glaucoma. We though we'd found some food that she liked the past few weeks but she ate her last meal Friday morning and developed digestive discomfort Saturday. Sunday night, she was gone.
